BepiColombo, Europe’s first mission to Mercury, launched on 20 October 2018. The spacecraft began its seven year journey by unfurling antennas and solar arrays, taking a few selfies and deploying a three metre magnetometer boom. The spacecraft, a joint mission between ESA and the Japanese space agency JAXA, will soon engage its solar propulsion engine but meanwhile scientists are busy preparing for BepiColombo’s arrival in 2025.

OTD in Space – August 3: MESSENGER Spacecraft Launches to Mercury

On Aug. 3, 2004, NASA launched the MESSENGER spacecraft on a historic first mission to orbit the planet Mercury. The spacecraft's name stands for the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging mission. It blasted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 6:15 a.m. Eastern Time and spent the next six and a half years making its way to Mercury's orbit. Because Mercury is so close to the Sun, a spacecraft travelling toward the planet speeds up as the sun's gravity pulls it in. In order to slow down enough to avoid falling into the sun, MESSENGER utilized the gravitational pull of Venus and Mercury with multiple flybys along the way. It made 15 trips around the sun before it finally arrived in Mercury's orbit in 2011.

A journey to the closest planet to the sun | Professor David Rothery | TEDxLondon

How much do we really know about Mercury? Professor David Rothery shares what he’s learned as part of his role in the European Space Agency’s BepiColombo mission to Mercury that is launching in autumn 2018. He shared what we know about the closest planet to the sun and what knowledge we hope this mission will help us learn. David is Professor of Planetary Geosciences at the Open University, based in Milton Keynes, where he teaches about planets, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis and geology in general. Although he loves the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn, he has been part of the team for the mission to Mercury since 2006. Using NASA data, he is currently working with his PhD students and his European counterparts to prepare geological maps of Mercury to set the context for BepiColombo’s observations This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

BepiColombo is the first ever two-spacecraft mission to Mercury.
This documentary by the Science Museum, explains this mission between the European Space Agency and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency,
The two satellites will go into separate orbits around Mercury. This is a unique aspect of the mission.
These synchronised satellite orbits will provide scientists with detailed sets of data which will give them a fuller picture of the planet.

One step closer to Mercury!

BepiColombo is one step closer to Mercury!
The component parts of BepiColombo, the European Space Agency’s first mission to Mercury, have been delivered to the launch site in French Guiana by air, sea and road.
The joint mission between ESA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) consists of two orbiters and one transfer module. It required 70 shipping containers and four cargo planes to ensure it was safely delivered to the European Spaceport at Kourou.
Everything will now be unpacked and re-assembled, together with the addition of solar panels, before launching to Mercury later this year.

OTD in Space – April 30: MESSENGER Spacecraft Crashes into Mercury

On April 30, 2015, NASA's MESSENGER mission came to an end when the spacecraft intentionally crashed into the surface of Mercury. MESSENGER was the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury and the second spacecraft to study it up close after NASA's Mariner 10 flew by the planet in the 1970s. MESSENGER spent four years orbiting Mercury. During that time, it mapped the surface of Mercury in unprecedented detail. The mission discovered water ice and organic compounds around Mercury's north pole. It also found that Mercury has a weird offset magnetic field that doesn't line up with its axis of rotation. The mission was only supposed to last one year, but NASA extended it twice so it could continue its groundbreaking observations of Mercury. It eventually ran out of fuel, so NASA intentionally crashed it into Mercury, where it created a new crater.

Mercury Transfer Module electric propulsion thruster steering test

Video showing a test of the mechanisms steering the four solar electric propulsion thrusters on BepiColombo’s Mercury Transfer Module (speeded up by 20 times).
The module will use a combination of electric propulsion and multiple gravity assists at Earth, Venus and Mercury to carry BepiColombo’s two scientificorbiters – ESA’s Mercury Planetary Orbiter and Japan’s Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter – to the innermost planet in our Solar System.
The test is designed to demonstrate that the mechanisms can reach their full steering range. The thruster mechanisms control the steering of the spacecraft during the long thrust arcs of the 7.2 year cruise to Mercury and as such are used for navigation, attitude control, and reaction wheel off-loading. Together with the onboard software, the mechanisms will update the direction of the thrust vector every five minutes relative to the spacecraft’s evolving centre of gravity. The thrusters will be fired for several months at a time between the gravity assist flybys.
This particular test was conducted in April 2017, before the spacecraft was put into the composite stack configuration. The same test will be repeated again later in the year to verify performance after the stack level vibration test campaign.

BepiColombo - media briefing replay

Replay of the BepiColombo media briefing held at ESA's technical centre in the Netherlands on 6 July 2017. The mission, its background, technological challenges and current status were presented.
Mercury is the least understood of all the inner rocky planets in our Solar System. Knowing its evolution is crucial to understand the evolution of our entire Solar System. BepiColombo, Europe's first mission to Mercury, will be launched in 2018.
Currently undergoing final testing at ESA's Space Research and Technology Centre in the Netherlands, in between being moved from one test chamber to the next, the whole spacecraft stack was presented to the media: the European and the Japanese orbiters as well as the transfer module.

BepiColombo vibration test

The BepiColombo spacecraft stack undergoing one of the vibration tests to mimic the forces and accelerations experienced during launch into space. This series of tests had to prove that the spacecraft was free from defects and ready to be launched.
The stack is shown in launch configuration, with the Mercury Transfer Module at the bottom, Mercury Planetary Orbiter in the middle (with antenna seen facing the camera), and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter’s Sunshield and Interface Structure at the top (the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter sits inside during the cruise to Mercury).
During the test run shown in this video, which was carried out in ESA’s test centre on 26 June 2017, the spacecraft was shaken from side to side for just over one minute, during which the frequency of vibrations increased from rest to 100 Hz. At the lowest frequencies the spacecraft movement amplitude at its base was largest (+/- 6 mm); it then continually decreased as the frequency continued to rise, to keep the accelerations within the targeted limits.
The dynamic response of the tall structure can be seen at the lowest frequencies where the eye can follow the movements. At frequencies higher than 25–30 Hz, the eye cannot see it anymore, giving the impression it is at rest.

Mercury Transfer Module solar wing deployment

Video showing the deployment of one of the Mercury Transfer Module’s 12 m-long solar wings in ESA’s test centre. The craft has two wings, spanning about 30 m from tip-to-tip when both are deployed.
In the test centre, the five panels were supported from above to simulate the weightlessness of space. The wings will be folded against the spacecraft’s body inside the Ariane 5 launch vehicle and will only open once in space. Mechanisms lock each panel segment in place. They can be rotated with the solar array drive mechanism attached to the main body.
The module will use a combination of electric propulsion and multiple gravity assists at Earth, Venus and Mercury to carry BepiColombo’s two scientific orbiters – ESA’s Mercury Planetary Orbiter and Japan’s Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter – to the innermost planet in our Solar System.

BepiColombo - Mission to Mercury

BepiColombo: To this day, Mercury remains the most mysterious planet of our solar system. The Sun’s glare makes it impossible to study via telescope and the extreme heat and proximity to the Sun make it hard to reach. As many questions remain unanswered, ESA and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) have teamed up for the dual spacecraft mission “BepiColombo”, named after the Italian professor Giuseppe ‘Bepi’ Colombo, which is made of 2 separate orbiters: the Mercury Planetary Orbiter (supplied by ESA) and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (supplied by JAXA), and a propulsion module.

BepiColombo status

BepiColombo, Europe’s first mission to Mercury, is currently being put through its paces at ESA’s European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands. Mechanical and vibration tests will get underway in April with a view to a launch in October 2018. BepiColombo will arrive at Mercury, the smallest planet in our Solar System, in December 2025.
The ESA-led joint European and Japanese mission consists of two spacecraft - the Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO) - as well as a sunshield and a Mercury Transfer Module, which will power its seven year journey using its solar electric propulsion engine. It will be a mission of further discovery after NASA’s Messenger spacecraft uncovered a number of surprises - including evidence of water ice at the closest planet to the Sun and a magnetic dipole field.
This video covers the mission status as well and its plan to follow up on Mercury’s unexpected features and properties. It includes an interview with Johannes Benkhoff, ESA BepiColombo project scientist.

The Sleepy Hollows of Mercury - Science at NASA

Mercury is the smallest and innermost planet in the Solar System. Its orbital period around the Sun of 88 days is the shortest of all the planets in the Solar System. It is named after the Roman deity Mercury, the messenger to the gods.
Like Venus, Mercury orbits the Sun within Earth's orbit as an inferior planet, so it can only be seen visually in the morning or the evening sky, and never exceeds 28° away from the Sun. Also, like Venus and the Moon, the planet displays the complete range of phases as it moves around its orbit relative to Earth. Seen from Earth, this cycle of phases reoccurs approximately every 116 days, the so-called synodic period. Although Mercury can appear as a bright star-like object when viewed from Earth, its proximity to the Sun often makes it more difficult to see than Venus.
Mercury is tidally or gravitationally locked with the Sun in a 3:2 resonance, and rotates in a way that is unique in the Solar System. As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly three times for every two revolutions it makes around the Sun. As seen from the Sun, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two Mercurian years. An observer on Mercury would therefore see only one day every two years.
Mercury's axis has the smallest tilt of any of the Solar System's planets (about 1⁄30 degree), and its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in the Solar System. At aphelion, Mercury is about 1.5 times as far from the Sun as it is at perihelion. Mercury's surface appears heavily cratered and is similar in appearance to the Moon, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years. Having almost no atmosphere to retain heat, surface temperatures varies diurnally more than any other planet in the Solar System, ranging from 100 K (−173 °C; −280 °F) at night to 700 K (427 °C; 800 °F) during the day across the equatorial regions. The polar regions are constantly below 180 K (−93 °C; −136 °F). The planet has no known natural satellites.
Two spacecraft have visited Mercury: Mariner 10 flew by in 1974 and 1975; and MESSENGER, launched in 2004, orbited Mercury over 4,000 times in four years before exhausting its fuel and crashing into the planet's surface on April 30, 2015.
Mercury is one of four terrestrial planets in the Solar System, and is a rocky body like Earth. It is the smallest planet in the Solar System, with an equatorial radius of 2,439.7 kilometres (1,516.0 mi). Mercury is also smaller—albeit more massive—than the largest natural satellites in the Solar System, Ganymede and Titan. Mercury consists of approximately 70% metallic and 30% silicate material. Mercury's density is the second highest in the Solar System at 5.427 g/cm3, only slightly less than Earth's density of 5.515 g/cm3. If the effect of gravitational compression were to be factored out from both planets, the materials of which Mercury is made would be denser than those of Earth, with an uncompressed density of 5.3 g/cm3 versus Earth's 4.4 g/cm3.
Mercury's density can be used to infer details of its inner structure. Although Earth's high density results appreciably from gravitational compression, particularly at the core, Mercury is much smaller and its inner regions are not as compressed. Therefore, for it to have such a high density, its core must be large and rich in iron.
Geologists estimate that Mercury's core occupies about 55% of its volume; for Earth this proportion is 17%. Research published in 2007 suggests that Mercury has a molten core. Surrounding the core is a 500–700 km mantle consisting of silicates. Based on data from the Mariner 10 mission and Earth-based observation, Mercury's crust is estimated to be 35 km thick. One distinctive feature of Mercury's surface is the presence of numerous narrow ridges, extending up to several hundred kilometers in length. It is thought that these were formed as Mercury's core and mantle cooled and contracted at a time when the crust had already solidified.

Science fiction has told us again and again, we belong out there, among the stars. But before we can build that vast galactic empire, we’ve got to learn how to just survive in space.
Fortunately, we happen to live in a Solar System with many worlds, large and small that we can use to become a spacefaring civilization.
This is half of an epic two-part episode that I’m doing with Isaac Arthur, who runs an amazing channel all about futurism, often about the exploration and colonization of space. Make sure you subscribe to his channel.
This episode is about colonizing the inner Solar System, from tiny Mercury, the smallest planet, out to Mars, the focus of so much attention by Elon Musk and SpaceX.
In the other episode, Isaac will talk about what it’ll take to colonize the outer Solar System, and harness its icy riches.
You can watch these episodes in either order, just watch them both.
At the time of this video, humanity’s colonization efforts of the Solar System are purely on Earth. We’ve exploited every part of the planet, from the South Pole to the North, from huge continents to the smallest islands. There are few places we haven’t fully colonized yet, and we’ll get to that.
But when it comes to space, we’ve only taken the shortest, most tentative steps. There have been a few temporarily inhabited space stations, like Mir, Skylab and the Chinese Tiangong Stations.
Our first and only true colonization of space is the International Space Station, built in collaboration with NASA, ESA, the Russian Space Agency and other countries. It has been permanently inhabited since November 2nd, 2000.
Needless to say, we’ve got our work cut out for us.
Before we talk about the places and ways humans could colonize the rest of the Solar System, it’s important to talk about what it takes to get from place to place.
Just to get from the surface of Earth into orbit around our planet, you need to be going about 10 km/s sideways. This is orbit, and the only way we can do it today is with rockets. Once you’ve gotten into Low Earth Orbit, or LEO, you can use more propellant to get to other worlds.
If you want to travel to Mars, you’ll need an additional 3.6 km/s in velocity to escape Earth gravity and travel to the Red Planet. If you want to go to Mercury, you’ll need another 5.5 km/s.
And if you wanted to escape the Solar System entirely, you’d need another 8.8 km/s. We’re always going to want a bigger rocket.
The most efficient way to transfer from world to world is via the Hohmann Transfer. This is where you raise your orbit and drift out until you cross paths with your destination. Then you need to slow down, somehow, to go into orbit.
One of our primary goals of exploring and colonizing the Solar System will be to gather together the resources that will make future colonization and travel easier. We need water for drinking, and to split it apart for oxygen to breathe. We can also turn this water into rocket fuel. Unfortunately, in the inner Solar System, water is a tough resource to get and will be highly valued.
We need solid ground. To build our bases, to mine our resources, to grow our food, and to protect us from the dangers of space radiation. The more gravity we can get the better, since low gravity softens our bones, weakens our muscles, and harms us in ways we don’t fully understand.
Each world and place we colonize will have advantages and disadvantages. Let’s be honest, Earth is the best place in the Solar System, it’s got everything we could ever want and need. Everywhere else is going to be brutally difficult to colonize and make self-sustaining.
We do have one huge advantage, though. Earth is still here, we can return whenever we like. The discoveries made on our home planet will continue to be useful to humanity in space through communications, and even 3D printing. Once manufacturing is sophisticated enough, a discovery made on one world could be mass produced half a solar system away with the right raw ingredients.
We will learn how to make what we need, wherever we are, and how to transport it from place to place, just like we’ve always done.

2016 Mercury Transit in 4K

Around 13 times per century, Mercury passes between Earth and the sun in a rare astronomical event known as a planetary transit. Mercury orbits in a plane that is tilted from Earth’s orbit, moving above or below our line of sight to the sun.
The 2016 Mercury transit occurred on May 9th, between about 7:12 a.m. and 2:42 p.m. EDT.
The images in this video are from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO.
Transits provide a great opportunity to study the way planets and stars move in space– information that has been used throughout the ages to better understand the solar system and which still helps scientists today calibrate their instruments.

Facts about Mercury | 5 Facts about the Planet Mercury

5 Facts About Mercury!
1 - Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and is the smallest planet.
2 - Mercury has no moons or rings.
3 - If you were on Mercury, your weight would be 38% of your weight on Earth
4 - Mercury has wrinkles. These are named Lobate Scarps and were formed when the iron core cooled and contracted.
5 - Only two spacecrafts have ever visited Mercury. It is extremely hard to reach because of how close it is to the sun.

The Planet Mercury Song | Planet Songs for Children | Mercury Song for Kids | Silly School Songs

Learn all about the planet Mercury with this fun planet song for kids. For more information and music, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com
Lyrics:
Let me tell you a little somethin' about Mercury
In the order of the planets it's the first, you see
It's the closest planet to the big fat Sun
And I still can't believe it's not the hottest one
Let me tell you a little somethin' about Mercury
It's also called the Planet of Extremes
With days so hot and nights so cold
It can't be home to a living soul!
This planet has a place in space 36 million miles away (from the Sun)
The smallest planet in the solar system but you won't believe how much it weighs (3.8 sextillion tons)
With no moon in the sky at night and nothing to give it some light (it's so, so dark)
Not only dark but extremely cold it's 330 degrees below (that's negative temp!)
Let me tell you a little somethin' about Mercury
It's made of iron and heavy things
Its atmosphere is extremely thin
No human could possibly breathe it in
Let me tell you a little somethin' about Mercury
It's terrestrial and real rocky
It takes 59 days to rotate or spin
Its atmosphere is made of oxygen and sodium and hydrogren and helium and potassium
We've tried to learn more about Mercury so we sent some space probes out there (two so far)
Mariner 10 showed us its craters and we sent MESSENGER nearly 30 years later (see what we did right there)
It doesn't have an atmospheric shield to protect it from solar rays (from the Sun)
This also means it has some freezing nights and some amazingly excessive hot days (800 degrees!)
Let me tell you a little somethin' about Mercury
It was named for a Roman deity
He had wings on his helmet and his shoes
He's an ancient mailman messenger dude
Let me tell you a little somethin' about Mercury
In the order of the planets it's the first, you see
It's the closest planet to the big fat Sun
And I STILL can't believe it's not the hottest one!

BALTIMORE — New research from NASA suggests that Mercury is shrinking and experiences seismic activity, joining Earth as the solar system’s other tectonically active planet.
Prior to crashing on Mercury, NASA’s MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft photographed the planet’s surface for the 18 months, reported Space.com, and found long cliffs. These cliffs, or scarps, suggests Mercury may experience seismic activity.
The researchers expect that seismic activity on Mercury is similar to the moon’s. The moon is a natural satellite, not a planet.
According to Space.com, the planet is still hot enough to keep contracting and have a molten outer core. That same core has helped sustain Mercury’s magnetic field for billions of years.
The findings, published in the October issue of Nature Geoscience, was managed by the John Hopkins University Physics Laboratory and funded by NASA.

The ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission to Mercury must withstand extremely harsh conditions while in orbit around the innermost planet of our Solar System: temperatures in excess of 450 C, high ultraviolet and electron and proton fluxes. ESA’s Materials and Electrical Components Laboratory was called in by the mission team to test the performance of candidate materials and components throughout the spacecraft – including the high gain antenna used to return the mission’s scientific findings. Heat-resistant ceramic coatings for the antenna were assessed in simulated conditions.

The power of Dark Energy may be increasing as the universe ages. Subtle clues are emerging that the accepted model for the nature of dark energy and dark matter may not be all that. We saw the first such clue recently in our recent episode on the Crisis in Cosmology. Today we’re doing a Space Time Journal Club to reveal another clue. We’re looking at a new paper in Nature Astronomy, “Cosmological constraints from the Hubble diagram of quasars at high redshifts” by Risaliti and Lusso. It hints that the cosmological constant may not be so constant after all. In fact it may be increasing. If this is true, then our prediction for the future of our universe looks VERY different, and may involve the entire universe tearing itself to shreds at the subatomic level in the Big Rip.
On this edition of Space Time Journal Club we look at:
Risaliti & Lusso (2019) "Cosmological Constraints from the Hubble Diagram of Quasars at High Redshifts"

NASA ScienceCasts: A Super Start to 2019

2019 is an excellent year to look to the sky and enjoy the spectacular view of Earth’s nearest neighbor, the Moon.

Do black holes contain dark matter?

Black holes grow by accreting matter under gravity; so surely they should be able to accrete dark matter? So then is there loads of dark matter trapped inside black holes?
Turns out it's a bit more complicated than that because of what we know of how dark matter behaves - which isn't a lot! - but it's enough.
This was a really fun speculative question to think about, especially because it ties in with my PhD thesis too. Let me know if you want me to do a video describing my thesis down in the comments.
Both my lapel microphones ran out of battery this week. Thankfully one of them didn't need a battery to use with a smartphone, so the sound was recorded that way. It's not brilliant I know, but it'll do. My research schedule this week stopped me from delaying filming until I could get a battery. The sound suffered so science wouldn't.

Space Weather News | A Filament Sandwiched by Sunspots 03.20.2019

UPDATE: Part of the filament I talk about did erupt after I posted this video! We could have a part-Earth directed solar storm coming by the end of this week! Check my twitter feed for the latest on arrival time!
Original Video Description:
This week we are coming down from a solar storm from some fast solar wind, but that doesn't mean the fun is over! We have two fast-growing sunspots on the Earth-facing Sun and they are sandwiching a filament that is growing more unstable by the day. If this filament erupts within the next day or so, we could have an Earth-directed solar storm! We are keeping a close watch on this to be sure. Also, one of the new sunspots may be showing signs of an influence of solar cycle 25. Just like the previous rogue sunspot we saw a few weeks ago, this new region has a dominant magnetic signature that runs north-south instead of east-west. Its too early to tell what the final polarity of this region will be, but if it continues this way, it will be yet another signal that solar cycle 25 is closer than we think! Learn the details of this filament sandwich, get the scoop on the two new sunspots that may cause its launch, and see what else our Sun has in store for us this week!
